The Magician- Magic Tape Twenty

The bass drops on Magic Tape Twenty and for a second or ten I think I must be listening to Calvin Harris.  But then comes the sensual vocal "ayy" and I know that I'm in for a gentler ride. The Magician takes the smoothest ideas in house and disco and rides each groove for six or seven minutes. What made Twenty greatly conducive to what I was doing was the predictability of the Magician's game- bait the listener with a catchy synth line or vocal lick, build to a pleasant but not ecstatic high, let the track settle, and switch it out for the next. Repeat nine times; works like a charm.
